"However, true sundae connoisseurs understand how toppings differentiate a good ice cream dessert from a great ice cream dessert. Many toppings are added to sundaes to enhance the flavors of the ice cream base; however, another important quality that toppings add is texture. Crunchy toppings, in particular, contrast the smooth texture of ice cream, helping to add dimension that enriches the dessert, especially when paired with other textures and flavors."
"Although it is not the most popular topping, many ice cream shops still carry dried coconut flakes. Coconut flakes are inexpensive and can also be found at most grocers. There are many types of coconut you can use for your dessert. Unsweetened coconut flakes add crunchiness and the distinct coconut flavor, while sweetened coconut flakes can add a sugary touch."
Ice cream sundaes benefit from a wide variety of flavors, cones, and toppings that excite the senses. Toppings enhance flavor and introduce texture, with crunchy additions providing contrast to smooth ice cream and adding dimension. Crunchy toppings enrich desserts when combined with other textures and flavors. Coconut flakes serve as a versatile tropical crunchy topping available unsweetened, sweetened, or toasted for a nuttier flavor. Coconut flakes pair well with fruity flavors like strawberry or mango and also complement non-fruity bases such as vanilla, enabling recreations of coconut cream pie-like sundaes.
